Mark as done to rate
Mary Queen of Scots led a dramatic, bloody life saturated in murder, deceit and treachery. Throughout her life Mary was repeatedly deceived by a group of immoral Scottish Nobles. So ruthless were their acts they even murdered her best friend David Rizzio, by stabbing him over 50 times as she watched helplessly. Towards the end of her life she sought refuge, trusting in her cousin Queen Elizabeth I. She was lured to her death, as Elizabeth coldly ordered her execution. Mary met her tragic end, beheaded by three gruesome strikes of a blunt axe. The brutality of Mary’s life gave rise to a vengeful spirit. Following countless unexplained deaths, authorities closed Sandyford Castle and erased its existence from history. The haunted castle has lay derelict and abandoned for centuries. You are part of a group of spiritual mediums who are determined to uncover the secrets of Mary’s life. You have ignored all warnings and remain resolute in your determination to lay her malefic ghost to rest. Will you succeed, or will you become another victim of the castle?

As I am not really a history fan, I didn’t expect to like this room as much as I did! It’s definitely the hardest escape room I have ever done though. Some puzzle require a lot of thinking outside the box so I’d say to go with more people if possible! The use of technology is fab in this room. Definitely spooked us out!

Absolutely loved the atmosphere in this room! Creepy and with a few jump scares it’s a great introduction to anyone wanting to try a spookier room. The puzzles are more complex than the Magician’s Heist room and often require a bit more out of the box thinking. We played as a 2 but would recommend 3-4 people for most general teams.
